Letters: How about your street?

'I hope that the residents on Ford Road are consulted on this.'

Editor, The News:

Re: New route through Pitt proposed (The News, Jan. 13).

Perhaps my reaction is knee-jerk, but I want to respond to Ken Joyner’s suggestion of taking traffic up Ford Road to Baynes Road to relieve the congestion on Lougheed Highway.

I hope that the residents on Ford Road are consulted on this. I, for one, don’t want this. I doubt that any of the Ford Road residents will. Traffic on Ford Road is crazy already, excessive speeding, no respect for marked crosswalks.

Perhaps traffic can be rerouted along Mr. Joyner’s street?
